From his early days creating Claus & Simon in Spain to becoming one of the most recognizable artists for Marvel and DC, Daniel’s career is packed with iconic work. He’s brought his unique style to Green Lantern, The Flash, Black Widow, Captain America, Uncanny Avengers, Black Panther, and so many more fan-favorite titles.

Daniel got his Fine Arts degree in the University of Valencia. His first published works in Spain were three stories starring his characters Claus & Simon (Claus & Simon en Hollywood, Feria de Monstruos, and Cajón de Sastre) for Ediciones La Cúpula, all written by co-creator Santiago Arcas.

He also did the first issue of Anthem, written by Roy Thomas, for Dude Comics. Daniel and Santi would return to Claus & Simon with a French album, Claus & Simon: Rois de L’Evasion, published by Albin Michel in France, and by Heavy Metal in the USA. His first American work were two “profiles” for the Teen Titans / Outsiders Secret Files & Origins 2005 (Blackfire and Ravager), and some covers for Marvel (Captain Universe, Doc Samson…).

He also did some cover work for DC (JLA, Outsiders…), before starting the Uncle Sam & the Freedom Fighters miniseries (with a prologue in the Brave New World Special), Green Lantern, and a brief stint as artist on The Flash. Moving to Marvel, he did covers for Nova, Red Hulk, and others, and worked on The Eternals, Uncanny X-Men Annual, Dark Reign: The Cabal, Young X-Men, or X-Men Legacy. Recently, he also shared artistic duties with Stuart Immonen on New Avengers #61-#62.

After starting the Black Widow ongoing series, Daniel provided art for Captain America #611, New Avengers #8, Wolverine, and X-Men Schism. After a stint on The Avengers, and the AvX issues of Uncanny X-Men. After two lengthy and really successful runs on Uncanny Avengers and Sam Wilson: Captain America, he worked on Black Panther with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates. After working on Avengers: Twilight with Chip Zdarski Daniel decided it was time to finally go back to where he had started, creator-owned comics, and he’s now working with writer Rick Remender on the anthropomorphic wartime thriller ongoing comic, Escape, set in World War II and published by Image Comics.
